Ingredients

Grilled Corn
  • 2 fresh ears of corn
  • 2 tsp vegetable oil or 1 tbsp butter
Tomato Avocado Salad
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 ripe avocado diced
  • 1/3 cup crumbled Feta cheese
  • Flaky sea salt for garnishing
Herb Vinaigrette
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • A small handful of fresh basil chopped finely
  • 2 sprigs worth of fresh thyme leaves minced
  • 1 tsp of fresh oregano minced
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Grill the Corn
  2. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium heat, and brush your corn with either butter or a little vegetable oil. Grill the corn, turning it halfway, for 12-15 minutes, until the corn gains a speckled look from the grill.
  3. Let the ears of corn cool enough to touch before carefully shaving the kernels off the cob into a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
  4. Make the Herb Vinaigrette
  5. Whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, sea salt, freshly ground pepper, and chopped herbs in a small bowl. Set aside.
  6. Create the Salad
  7. Add the cherry tomatoes and diced avocado with the corn in the large mixing bowl. Crumble in the feta, then drizzle the dressing over the salad. Toss well and sprinkle with flaky salt.
  8. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Prep all of the ingredients, except for the avocado, up to 6 hours ahead of serving. Slice the avocado right before serving, then give everything a toss with the dressing.
  • This salad doesn't save very well. Everything slumps down, becomes liquidy, it's not very appealing. Fortunately, you can halve the recipe with ease for only 3 servings, instead.
